What price is too high for survival?

Petrograd, 1917. Eighteen-year-old Valentina Kalinina’s life of aristocratic privilege is shattered in an instant when Bolshevik rebels storm her home. Her father is murdered before her eyes, her beloved fiancé Alexei falls to a revolutionary’s bayonet, and Valentina barely escapes to England with her life. Stranded in a foreign country with no money or support, salvation arrives in the form of a charming cousin, Dmitri, who offers her sanctuary in his Belgravia mansion. Valentina believes her nightmare is over, until she realizes that Dmitri’s generosity comes at a horrifying price…

Present day. When archaeologist Quinn Allenby discovers a skeleton sealed behind a wardrobe in a London house, she expects another routine investigation. But the moment she touches a delicate Fabergé necklace, Quinn is thrust into Valentina’s world of revolution and betrayal. As Quinn pieces together the Russian girl’s desperate story while juggling new motherhood, she realizes that exposing the truth about the mysterious skeleton will have devastating consequences for her own future…

Fans of Diana Gabaldon, Barbara Erskine, and Susanna Kearsley will devour this gripping story of survival, betrayal, and the dangerous lengths we go to protect those we love.

Another fascinating tale from the past

Irina Shapiro has enthralled me with the Echoes from the Past series along with the Wendy Wolfson narrator who tells the story.
Quinn Allenby and her unique abilities to read someone’s past from an object is fascinating, each draws you in and takes you into there life, there joys, sorrows, and the tragedy or misfortune the caused Quinn to be called into the circumstance to begin with.
I also enjoy hearing about Quinn’s life while she is trying to solve a case you see the joys and the sorrows she experiences.
I was given this audible book for a fair and honest review by the author thank you.

My favorite of the series yet!

I really liked Valentina, and this story was a little different than the previous in the series. By this point, I’m attached to the current characters and am excited to see what happens next.

The Narrator does an astounding job at the voices and personalities. The Author does a fantastic job at bringing to worlds into this read. I am loving this series. I would love to see it on netflix.

the unseen.

this was a good book and it kept me interested. it had a good plot. the narrator did a great job.

Wow!

This story was absolutely riveting as I listened along…totally engrossed in both the present-day mystery involving Quinn as well as the 1917 mystery of exactly whose bones were found in the hidden bathtub and how and why that person met his untimely end. Ms. Shapiro’s “Echoes From the Past Series” is a great collection of stories that will intrigue those who love romantic mystery stories. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Another FIVE star read

Irina! Such a great series. Leaves me anxiously waiting for the next one. Thanks for the enjoyment I get from your books

Irina Shapiro never fails me

I love this series. Going back-and-forth from the past to the present is always exciting to me. But I do have to say I am becoming increasingly irritated by Emma. Does anyone else see her as an absolutely spoiled brat? I get it. She's been through a lot but her behavior rankles me and everyone seems to just accept it as appropriate behavior.
Maybe it was just that I was raised not to be so demanding and spoiled. JMO

The Unseen

Irina Shapiro is a wonderful storyteller! I love the way she wrote this series. Each book has a view into the past through the archeologist,Dr. Quinn Allenby’s special gift. This book is about a young aristocrat, Valentina, who left Russia during the 1917 revolution with her mother, sister, and brother to live in England. Valentina’s story is heart wrenching as she assumes responsibility for her family’s survival.

The narration by Wendy Wolfson was perfect!
